It depends on how much you buy, but the discount card does give you an extra advantage over Amazon.<br /><br />Plus, Chapters will ship your order out over several packages over several weeks. Amazon will only ship the order once everything is ready to go. So if something has been backordered for a month, then you have to wait for everything.<br /><br />Regardless, an excellent list.

Although their shipping is slightly ridiculous (usualy around 32$), it is a lot better than having to go to the Northern to replace certain electronic devices (ie: TV's, speakers, home theater systems..). Shipping does increase depending on the size of the package and what you are buying (ie: 27" LCD TV costs 139$ to ship.)<br /><br />Also, sonystyle.ca - your Sony store online with free shipping to the North (used it several times) - although sometimes you might need to call your order in depending on how your address jives in the system.<br /><br />And of course .. there is always Dell.ca for electronics too .. and they have free shipping to the North as well.Kenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925720047407882803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383956.post-55788379454394784812009-05-09T12:08:00.000-04:002009-05-09T12:08:00.000-04:00i skimmed through since I dont shop on line and sa...i skimmed through since I dont shop on line and saw victorias sectret then skimmed to the bottom, to see work wear world as your pick, made me laugh, lolyukonmusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522956876253045113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383956.post-7755392589278967132009-05-09T00:25:00.000-04:002009-05-09T00:25:00.000-04:00awesome!

It could be worth it if you order a lot or bulky items. <br /><br />But I agree with what you wrote about toysrus. Shipping is weird but you can get anything.

Mystery time evaporates into space between those two destination, things can go missing or just sit somewhere for long periods of time. <br /><br />I've found the tracking has only come in handy watching stuff float around down south. Watching an item go from Ottawa, to Edmonton, to Inuvik, back to Edmonton. Then finally calling UPS and telling them how they should go about sending stuff to Nunavut. lol sheesh.<br /><br />Everything I've had expedited has taken longer then usual or exactly the same as post.

I use thespicehouse.com for all of my spices. Its out of California, but shipping is reasonable, quick, and more importantly the spices are fresh and you can get anything you can imagine with out the hoopla of other cooking stuff. <br /><br />I also disagree with you somewhat about expedited shipping. For expensive items etc I often use the expedited shipping (say for example anything I get through Apple). Here's why. It does tend to arrive quicker, it has better tracking, and while the 2-3 business days is not happening, there is usually a service standard date for delivery. If my order goes much beyond that standard I call Apple and they take off the extra shipping charge. Well worth it to me, depending on the retailer.<br /><br />Oh yeah, coffee: Equator.ca (free shipping if you're on their recurring order, and Transcend Coffee out of Edmonton (again free shipping depending on quantities). Both have high quality sustainable coffees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
